What’s causing the apparent changes is up for debate everywhere except in the mainstream, which insists global warming is our own fault and that reducing emissions and going green is the only answer. Those who dare debate this anymore are accused of creating propaganda for the oil industry, or being mean-spirited Al Gore-haters; or perhaps, of just being crazy paranoids. Certainly I would never argue with going green; fossil fuels are dangerous and polluting, not to mention ridiculous (free energy, anyone?) and very expensive nowadays – which also makes me wonder; why would these guys push the cause if they’re only going to lose their precious oil dollars? Are they all looking to make their next fortunes in corn-based ethanol instead (or poised to rake it in on wheat futures when world food supplies are depleted), or just falling onto the politically-correct bandwagon; or, is there some other agenda lurking in the background?

Usually, if there’s hype, there’s also cover-up. Here is a site that lists articles about many other climate change opinions which I found it interesting, especially the articles about cosmic rays, the sun and other planets in our solar system also heating up. Could it be, perchance, something much larger going on? Something that might cause global panic if it made the news? Better sweep those notions into the lunatic fringe – no room for that in the mainstream. Too messy.

However, as this gentleman points out in The Times, “chaos theory rules.” With all the various potential contributors to climate change, how to know for sure what the exact cause is, especially since we’ve only been keeping records for a relatively short period, compared to vast geologic time? Even a large volcanic eruption can throw off the climate, as evidenced by this slice of history picked up by The Economist about the extraordinary summer of 1783. Or how about this article about ancient global warming?

So, maybe it’s just a minor blurp in the climate cycle; an exchange of gases or just a combination of elements that’s causing only slight deviations which seem larger due to our limited scope in time, or the huge population now present on the planet.

Or, maybe it’s not.

Maybe there really is a Dark Star, a Nemesis sister sun, an extra planet or some other celestial body on it’s way towards us, threatening our Earth’s delicate balance like a spinning top. Laura Knight-Jadczyk’s intriguing article caught my eye, especially her point involving the fractal and multidimensional structure of space-time and the concept of cosmic, quantum jumps within it. And yet, it’s only part of the lunatic fringe, at this point, to be sure. All I’m suggesting is – pay attention. Read up on everything, and don’t be fooled. Sure; buy a hybrid, recycle and install solar panels. Head off to the hills, if you must. But notice unusual puzzles, like comets going missing, controversial pyramids in Bosnia or Russia, and even the Mayan calendar 2012 end date. Just be prepared, be wise to the hype and resistant to the propaganda. Maybe the ancients were trying to tell us something – something the powers-that-be don’t want us to know.

From the Kolbrin Bible:

MAN:3:1 Men forget the days of the Destroyer. Only the wise know where it went and that it will return in its appointed hour.

MAN:3:4-6 When blood drops upon the Earth, the Destroyer will appear, and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land, and seas will boil…The people will scatter in madness. They will…seek refuge within dens in the Earth. Terror will eat away their hearts…They will be eaten up in the flames of wrath and consumed by the breath of the Destroyer.

MAN:3:7 Thus it was in the Days of Heavenly Wrath, which have gone, and thus it will be in the Days of Doom when it comes again. The times of its coming and going are known unto the wise. These are the signs and times which shall precede the Destroyer’s return: A hundred and ten generations shall pass unto the West, and nations will rise and fall. Men will flying the air as birds and swim in the seas as fishes. Men will talk peace one with another’ hypocrisy and deceit shall have their day. Women will be as men and men as women; passion will be a plaything of men.

GLN:4:24-26 …There, riding on a great black rolling cloud, came the Destroyer, newly released from the confines of the sky vaults, and she raged about the Heavens, for it was her day of judgment. The beast with her opened its mouth and belched forth fire, hot stones and a vile smoke. It covered the whole sky above and the meeting place of Earth and Heaven could no longer be seen. In the evening, the places of the stars were changed, they rolled across the sky to new stations; then, the floodwaters came…The pillars of Heaven were broken and fell down to Earth. The skyvault was rent and broken; the whole of creation was in chaos. The stars in the Heavens were loosened from their places, so they dashed about in confusion. There was a revolt on high; a new ruler appeared there and swept across the sky in majesty.

CRT:4:5-9 Then came the day when all things became still and apprehensive, for God caused a sign to appear in the Heavens, so that men should know the Earth would be afflicted, and the sign was a strange star…The star grew and waxed to a great brightness and was awesome to behold…He was clothed with smoke and fire. He carried lightnings in His hand, and His breath, falling upon the Earth, brought forth brimstone and embers…the sun and moon hid themselves in fear and there was a heavy darkness over the face of the Earth…Great fires and smoke rose up from the ground and men gasped for air. The land was rent asunder and swept clean by a mighty deluge of waters. A hole opened up in the middle of the land; the waters entered, and it sank beneath the seas.

• Jenny McCarthy caused a buzz when she appeared on Oprah talking about her son’s autism and the much-debated MMR vaccine which many parents believe is responsible for the sudden onset of the condition in their previously unaffected children. Ms. McCarthy’s opinion that she’s not against vaccines in general, but believes more studies should be done regarding the ‘one size fits all’ approach, is sensible in my opinion.

• This article about a disruptive bee swarm, and then this one about a swarm actually forcing a plane to land recently, made me wonder for a moment about what is really going on with the bees; what if it were all part of some kind of bizarre ‘bee revolt’ – or worse, an attempt to warn us about something!

• This month is a Blue Moon – in most places; see what I mean here. More interesting Moon thoughts. Cool, short video of Comet McNaught seen in Australia earlier this year. The Economist recently published an article about the Earth’s approaching magnetic pole reversal. A star is about to go supernova in the constellation of Ophiuchus, the ‘serpent-holder’ or The Dragon, the only one of the 13 zodiacal constellations that doesn’t have its own astrological sign – and rumored to be the source of Planet X and varies species of aliens among other things.

• Be prepared for the disappearance of the US Dollar. The CFR and others are actively working towards a currency union in the Americas called the “Amero”, much like the Europeans did with the Euro. Along that vein, They’re talking about microchipping Alzheimer’s patients as well as airline employees. You know it’s not going to stop there. And in Scotland, Masonic symbols have been discovered in the heart of Glasgow – fully 37 acres of symbol, according to one theory.

• In case you missed this sleight of hand, President Bush recently issued himself sweeping dictatorial powers in the case of any large-scale catastrophe. “The Day After” is a recent meeting of senior government and military officials and other experts which focused on a response to a large-scale nuclear attack. And probably other potential disasters as well, don’t you think? In the spirit of Towel Day, Don’t Panic and bring your towel.

Yesterday a press release from the Army announced several pathogens had been found to be potential culprits. Some have found evidence of a fungus; in Hawaii, the news is centering on a harmful mite, and bee colonies are now quarantined to prevent its spread. More information on current research can be found here. What’s interesting is that while most of these articles claim Colony Collapse Disorder is yet to be found in Hawaii, this article claims otherwise, and I’m going to pay attention especially since my neighbor lost 20 of his 60 hives here on the Big Island just in the past two or three months.

A friend reminded me of the importance of bees to our local coffee industry, among other crops. I can’t even begin to comprehend the disaster.

Scary.

They’ve given us some honey before; it’s wonderful.  I used to have a patch of mint that flowered and the bees just took over my garden.  One time a few months ago they swarmed, coming right up our driveway next to our porch.  We all ran inside, including the dogs, at a loss as to what might have upset them.

In the evenings lately I’ve noticed there is always one lone and angry bee buzzing around our porch light rather frantically, as if it’s bound and determined to go somewhere.  With all the talk about the bees disappearing lately, I always hope it will find its way home.

The bee apocalypse is hot news right now – truly a sign of the times.  So far no one is sure what’s going on – a virus, genetically modified crops, insecticides or maybe the effect of an increase in UV radiation which bees use to navigate.  People are quoting Einstein as having said, “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”

Next time I see my neighbor I will ask about the bees.  It’s important to know if they are still around, and we would miss them very much indeed if they weren’t.
